The Boys Are Back In Town-Thin Lizzy

3 days of pure gluttony,almost!

we left all the troubles and stress back home & hit the long winding road on a comfortable busride to the capital state of malaya last friday afternoon,and once we disembarked from the ride,the 'makan trip' commenced immidiately.
yes,the main strong reason which brought us back to KL was Subway for their mouthwatering sandwiches followed by Wendy's,A&w and plenty other lovely tasty delicious food along the way.
we even got time to checkout the coffin exhibition at the museum negara,and in short,we didn't really go around much but just eat,eat and eat.
the weather
KL,besides the flourishing shopping centres and the forever mad traffic congestion & the inglorious pollution,didn't really change that much,those thousands of taxis with stickers printed in bold 'meter taxi' but in actual fact that they switched off the meters and pose absolutely ridiculous fares even for short distances.but what ever it was,we actually don't give a hoot coz we already know these foul characters,we were only there to have fun.we favoured the public transport.

we'll be back,for sure.

Empire State Of Mind-Alicia Keys

The queue is a long winding labyrinth,a frustrating series of twists and turns,bumps and silent desperationof sighs,droplets of sweat and heat building up underneath my thin layered cotton tee branding Darth Vader image,but i'm in my best,keeping my cool.
The hospital enforces the rule of allowing only several visitors at a time and hence keeping noisy and loud crowds away.
the old man looked better,in a quick glance;healthy.the disese which befell him for months now actually drove him frail and weak.but he said he was alright,only due to the long period of time lying down on the bed,pressure from his weight caused a hairline crack on his spine.and after meticulous analysis by his doctors and specialists,thsy all said he'll be alright but he needed plenty of restbut no one mentioned when he'll be discharged from the creepy place.
i hope he'll recover soon,i know he doesn't like staying there,oh well who does?

3 Am Eternal-KLF

this might be one of my worst monday ever,i could not find the strength to pry open my tired eyes this morning,and it was hell trying to move my body,and my back was still in a bad shape,even after the good wife contributed applying a however short back massage last night & a so called good-yet-somehow-seems-short sleep.
The painkiller tablet did its job,but it didn't assist in shapeshifting the groggy state i'm in right now,and paying the least attention in this meeting room,God knows what they are blabbering about and in most topics,only a tiny fraction concern my darling team,ohh get me out of here!!!!.

Whole Lotta Love-Led Zeppelin

i'm having this excruciating pain on my back,real hurt all due to two consecutive days of dragon boat training at Kallang river.even the mefenamic acid pills that i swallowed doesn't really help but thank God i can walk iwhout the assistance of a stick,NOT!

the weather is good today,and yesterday as well,and crowds of cheerful paddlers added colour to the lovely morning;from the shack all the way to the river bank,i felt however like i'm in some foreign shores,coz largely,the crowd made of different kind of people haliling from various countries,and all looked happy and all looked real fit.

and all were there for the same intention-to row!and all we thought rowing was easy until we rocked the still waters,it was madly tiring.we rowed in unison all the way close to marina barrage and made a turn,rowed to indoor stadium and back to where we started.in between we stopped for stretching and further instructions by our coach,a former dragon boat national team player.

the river was dark and murky and God knows what lay underneath as we paddled & perfecting our breathing,movement and strokes.and most importantly we need to row as a team and all gotta be together in a single rhythm.

now i'm in pain but i felt good,i got a bit darker but that's alright and already i'm showing signs of interest in this newfound love,even the crew are friendly and i'm looking forward to the next session,oh boy i'm gonna miss next weekend's training,but there'll be more,i promise!

Pictures Of You-The Cure


totally burnout.
i can't even finish up the plate of fried rice.i drank lotsa water,plentiful but my tummy ain't bloated,my back is achin,shoulders and knees felt heavy,it was all due to the footy game earlier at safra with me mates and the killer weather was the big reason why most of us felt weak.

but it was a good,clean and fun game-looking forward to next thursday session,oh boy i gotta rest this body.the next rigorous activity would either be this saturday or sunday dragon boat training at kallang river,and i could have participated on both days but due to an event we need to attend to,and on a weird timing on both days,i've to sacrifice one paddle session.

time moves real quick,another glance on the clock it's quarter to 10pm,i got plenty of movies to watch,but most importantly i gotta watch the fourth episode of the pacific,the earlier ones i watched it at home with my dad,but the 3rd one really put me into an uncomfortable position,with sex scenes and honestly i did feel a real weird and yes we are adults but some things just needed to be in discreet,don't you agree?it's so wrong!

i attended a sports injury seminar during lunch at my workplace earlier,and it's real exciting;the speaker talked about the proper shoes and insoles we should wear and if we don't,we might end up with ingrown toenails,hammer and claw toes and many other scary complications which also will affect back and knee problems.

now take care of your foot,hombres!
